We always have one or two adverts for MGs in our local paper (here in South
Australia) but they have also set up a section called "Cars of Distinction"
which
have all sorts of exotica, including MGs, so you look in both the alphabetical
section and sections set up in alphabetical order and price range PLUS "Cars of
Distinction".
However, as when seeking employment, I always advise going direct to the source
and in this case this will end up being an owner (hunt down your local MG Car
Club) or a dealer... and these aren't hard to find (once again, ask your local
MG
Car Club). Hell, I went to "Octagon Autos" and "MG Sales and Service" - seemed
pretty obvious to me.
If you need to stumble over an MG before you would consider buying one, then
maybe you just weren't meant to have one in the first place ;-)
